I have a ryzen apu, so I was curious. I tried yesterday to fiddle with it, and managed to up the “vram” to 16gb. But installing xformers and flash-attention for LLM support on igpus is not officially supported and was not possible to install anything past pytorch. It’s step further for sure, but still needs lots of work.

ROCm? Is that even supported now? Last time I checked it was still a dumpster fire. What are the RAM and VRAM reqs for the Mixtral8x7b?

Doing the maths, that’s ~200$/chip. Even Nvidia 4060 is more expensive.

But idle still would run much more than 15w. There a very good compilation google sheets for the most efficient X86 cpus, but once you start factoring hdds and ssds, it’s only natural to go higher (20w-30w) at least. That’s at least double than rpis

The mian issue with Mini/used PCs is the power efficiency. It’s just a waste of wattage and performanve/Watt is very bad, especially at idle.

Pwnagotchi is an A2C-based “AI” leveraging bettercap that learns from its surrounding WiFi environment to maximize the crackable WPA key material it captures (either passively, or by performing authentication and association attacks). This material is collected as PCAP files containing any form of handshake supported by hashcat, including PMKIDs, full and half WPA handshakes.

The landscape is changing so fast thanks to LLMs, everything is becoming gated behind logins. Thanks ChatGPT.

As an OSS user, and developper, OPT-OUT is a shitty practice. It should be opt-in to users who face crashes issues if they want to share that data (they care enough to provide their info to the dev to fix it). I know this makes users sound entitled, but otherwise the “opt-out” permission will be exploited by someone which will make users even more paranoid about OSS apps.

Amaze file manager. Resurrected so many times. Great interface.

FOSS means that the app has its source available somewhere (usually github), and can be used to compile it. Additionally it has to have a compatible license. I doubt MiXeplorer has either.

Although I agree, it’s tough to make a whitelist than a blacklist, as the latter requires only 1 bad decision, the former is tough to assess (how many good decision to be on the list, ex Microsoft support lots of open source projects, should they be added?)

Does that imply BBC bias towards favoring Israel? Or is it weighted by ground truth somewhere? What I mean by this i expect there is lots of mentions of “murdered” israelis in the week of Oct 7 compared say towards the last week of November, given when the actual events took place. Frequency is not that informative without a distribution to compare it to.

I fail to understand the results, is it possible to formulate it for simple folks like me?

What’s your take on Kagi joining partnership with brave?

I feel every era had its “boogey man” issue. I doubt there was ever an era of “nothing to worry about”

My only worry are EDCs. They are heavily present in plastic, and sous-vide bags are no exception.

EDIT: EDC refers to Endochrine Disrupting Chemicals, proven to be a big problem for reproduction.

There are plenty of other players on the SSD marker. Crucial, WD, etc. I predict that their prediction will be wrong

Dietpie is a lightweight debian not ubuntu. And debian is still one of the top choices (if not the) for servers.

Ubuntu is just debian with extra bad decisions.

Heroic

This. While the experience for Gaming on linux is still not perfect, or as easy as install and play, Heroic is a good start. It still requires configuration and many hidden configs are not always obvious for the user, but I managed to run every game I threw at it flawlessly so far. All AAA games, and games from 2000 (Hitman, C&C games, Jazz Jackrabbit etc…), GoW, Cyberpunk, Hogwarts, etc. On a RTx 2070.

I feel also the concept of “work” is viewed from employer/employee perspective, but I’d argue it should be viewed more from "useful” development one. Like reading a fiction book vs a non-fiction.
